2) DoD SBIR 08.1
Solicitation Issued for Public Release
The DoD SBIR 2008.1
solicitation was pre-released at http://www.dodsbir.net/solicitation on November 13, 2007.
The Air Force, Army, Navy, CBD, DTRA, OSD, and SOCOM
invite small businesses to submit proposals under this
solicitation. During the pre-release period, which ends on December 9, you may
contact the topic authors directly
(contact information is listed with the topic) to ask technical questions about
specific solicitation topics.
DoD will begin accepting
proposals on December 10, 2007 and will close to
proposals on January 9, 2008 at 6am EST.
Plan ahead and submit your proposal early to avoid the
risk of website inaccessibility due to heavy usage on the final day.
Technical Q&A through SITIS
Once DoD begins accepting
proposals on December 10, 2007, no
further direct contact between proposers and topic
authors is allowed, but proposers may submit written questions through the SBIR
Interactive Topic Information System (SITIS),
in which the questioner and respondent remain anonymous and all questions and
answers are posted electronically for general viewing.
SITIS closes to new questions on December
26, 2007.
All questions and answers will be posted through January 9, 2008.
All proposers are advised to monitor SITIS at http://www.dodsbir.net/sitis
during the solicitation period for questions and
answers and other information relevant to the topic under which they are
proposing.
Commercialization Update Effort
In order to properly
evaluate your firm's commercialization efforts, as well as to reliably measure
the performance and
impact of the SBIR and STTR programs, you must review and ensure that your
Company Commercialization data is complete,
current, and accurate. The Company Commercialization Report must list every
prior SBIR and STTR Phase II award received
from any federal agency, regardless of whether the Phase II has commercialized
to date. Phase III sales and investment figures,
as well as manufacturing-related R&D and other commercialization
information, must be updated within the last 12 months for all Phase II awards.
Password Security Policy
Effective measures to
reduce system vulnerability and increase security include creating a strong
password to your account and
changing it frequently. This is your defense for protecting your firm's
proposal information. Choose a strong password that does
not contain easily recognizable information like firm names, phone numbers,
addresses, or other information that someone could guess.
Your new password MUST be at least 10 characters and contain the
following: at least 1 upper case letter; at least 1 lower case letter;
at least 1 number; and at least 1 special character (e.g. $, ?, !, etc.).
DoD SBIR Help Desk
If you have any questions
please contact the DoD SBIR Help Desk at 866-724-7457 or by email at sbirhelp@brtrc.com.
